IlyaM: <rant> What's wrong with Xerces-C++ is
that it is an enormous leaky sack of converted Java code.
(As Xerces-Java, it probably was well-enough designed, by
Java standards; it's easy to find far, far worse.) Of
almost 19,000 Debian packages, only three actual programs
depend, directly or indirectly, on it; one of them is a
recipes database, another is a toy web proxy. The Apache
Project, if scrupulous, would withdraw it and Xalan-C++
from circulation, and officially orphan them. That they
haven't done so yet is to their discredit. I've had two
employers who suffered under it until they managed to squirm
free. How many thousands of developer-hours have been spent
trying to make it work in various projects, and how many
more ripping it out of places it shouldn't have been put?

It appears that lo, after all these years, Orkut has solved its spammer
problem. The only reason I have had, lately, to log into
Orkut was to clear the spam from the groups I owned. Now
there seems to be no reason left.
